What are the remedy to underage gambling?

[TopT3ns]

This is directly related to the economic situation. This situation is more prevalent in poor countries with limited financial resources.
This is because young people think they can get rich quickly and pursue their dreams. If they gamble for the first time and then make a profit, they become addicted over time.
Gambling sites may not want to prevent this, because the prevailing belief is that as long as the money comes in, it doesn't matter how it comes in.
High-quality and established gambling sites impose an 18-19 age limit, but I doubt every gambling site does this.

This is typical of the area where one finds less economic prosperity and the youths get enticed to think it is easy to get out of something and we can witness how winning at an earlier age leads to an unrealistic self conviction. The absence of strict age regulations in regards to service providers will predispose one to developing addiction. This is where the need to spend money among unhealthy choices can be demonstrated. The interpretation of this trend proves the need of improved security measures among the people in susceptible circumstances.

Underage gambling is best prevented through strict ID checks and better parental controls at home. Most issues come from kids accessing unverified accounts, so limiting payment methods and device access really helps. Education also matters, showing young people the risks before curiosity turns into habit.

How common is underage access in your area, and do local platforms enforce proper KYC in your experience?

Well, I really do not think that there's a remedy to permanently prevent this from happening. The casinos warns against it but they can not be able to know when an underage is gambling, some people would be like me who would say before, "that KYC is going to help" but kids are smart now, they can use their parent's information to pass the KYC without them even knowing it.

I will advise that parents should be conscious and attentive in caring for their kids, pay attention to every little change with the kid, be free with them so that they can easily share informations with you because if you are hard on them, they can hide to do things without your permission.  With the right guidance, a kid will always take permission from their parents before doing some certain things.

I believe so too, parents should be the ones to enact certain restrictions, regulations and guidelines for their children.The best remedies to underage gambling can only come from a combination of strong laws,proper age verification,education,parental approach,restricted ads,and support for them.Parents influence and support would solve this faster because the problem is complex and evolving faster than regulations,making it difficult for the government to handle.

Of course, these combinations are quite good, but parental upbringing, supervision, and relationships have a very strong influence. I think even with parents, it's a very fine line, because children can act out of spite toward their parents, after some kind of insult, or for some other reason. But I haven't yet come up with a better way than explaining at home, or even demonstrating, that this game exists and why it's better not to play it, and talking about the consequences, because it's better to let them know than to experience it themselves. I think this topic needs more attention, but sometimes I think parents are too wrapped up in their own problems and simply don't even remember the risks of children gambling.

It is true that some of the gambling site or casino sites there terms for someone to start gambling over there are ranging from age 18+ although I learnt that some countries are from 16+ while some are between from 19+ above before they could start operating on the gambling/casino site. Nowadays I am so shocked and surprised on how children of this generation do made their way into casino to start gambling without them even getting to aged bracket of accessing the gambling site before they could starts gambling.
I had numerous stories, which led me to create this topic to know if there are other ways or modalities a gambling site should use to put to end of underage gambling.

It is very difficult to control underage gambling because even if they are asked to provide an ID they can easily forge a fake ID and submit and that's the reality of the society we live in, even when underage people are seen in an offline casino center they still claim to be old enough to gamble stating that they are above 18yrs and they are left with no other choice than to believe them. I wish there's anything we can do to stop teenagers from taking the wrong path but sadly there isn't, unless they have strict parents at home that monitors their activities strictly to prevent them from doing down the wrong path because gambling at a young age is a quick way to get addicted.

Underaged gambling is mostly unacceptable and we should not seek for an alternative within the gambling context, instead, there could be other forms of alternatives to gambling that they can use to have fun and play without gambling being involved, we have lots of brain teasing fun games, picnics, exercises and other riddle task or hunt that can keep the underaged ablaze than gambling.

Any teenage who has already tested the sweetness of money would never skip gambling especially when they have started gambling and it happens that they have incurred several winning you would see them deploying all technicalities just for them bypass the underage gambling restriction, and as I know many of those young teenage who are gambling may like passes their verification through their parents documents, most time they wouldn't know if they uses their friends details to get themselves verified from the gambling site.

The thing is that whoever that is underage is not supposed to partake in gambling because gambling is not made for children it is meant for adult who have a source of income and also a cash flow that can enable the person to gamble without involving in stealing and the committing any other things that may lead to disadvantages in gambling, so I believe now someone who is not up to 18 years it's not supposed to participate in gambling even government is against pupils that is not up to age to participate in gambling, so we need to know that when someone who is not up to age participate in gambling and the lose it can be emotionally trauma so such can of age cannot control their emotions when they lose what is higher than them

Some physical gambling has some similarities to club where underage boys and girls sneak into just to have fun. The authorities are suppose to raid this places and make sure the place is seal but instead the club pay these authorities not come to those places and they stay silent, they don't do their work and these clubs work normal, I believe there are some casino that has this characteristics of manipulation.

We can't do this alone until the government is ready to put an end to it. There is nobody on earth that is above the law, if they want it to be stop, the government can do it and make sure the parents takes full responsibility if they can't keep an eye on their young children.

I think the blame here is shared between the two. First of all if casinos or gambling establishments were really responsible, they wouldn't be so lax about age verification. Sometimes they turn a blind eye because it increases their business. And yes age cannot be determined by appearance that is a real problem.

I personally think that this similarity between clubs and casinos is nothing new. Minors sneak in because they think it is an adventure and the places don't try hard to prevent it. If the authorities were monitoring regularly, at least there would be fear but most of the time both sides are seen to be keeping quiet for convenience.

In fact, with the advent of online gambling, now people can participate at any age. We know that those under 18 do not have the right to participate in gambling, but it seems that online gambling is being opened without any conditions by pressuring those over 18 and there are no restrictions. So I think that gambling cannot be stopped by imposing an age of over 18. We must be very strict in educating minors about gambling and ensure that they cannot participate in any way. Moreover, if we are all aware, then minors cannot participate in gambling, then we must make efforts.

Gambling regulations state that no one under the age of 18 can participate in gambling, but in reality, a young teenager can participate in gambling and is currently participating. The only way to prevent underage gambling is to do KYC on the casino site, and that must be done with the user's personal information. But if KYC is made mandatory, users will not want to create accounts at those casinos, which is why casino authorities cannot enforce the 18-year age limit.

However, teenagers can be very cunning and clever, and they find ways to play. For example, they might buy sweets for an older brother or sister, who will register in their stead. Of course, this can't be controlled, so parents need to be more attentive and try to notice such things, pay attention to the little things, or when they're away from their parents. It also depends on the group of friends these teenagers are in, because if it becomes fashionable for everyone to play, even a good and well-behaved person might start playing too. One thing is clear to me: there's no such thing as universal control.

In details of what you put out here @Oluwa-btc, that's just what I'm saying, parents are the first teacher of their kids, and the guidance that parents keep for their kids. Children or teenagers learn from their parents or guidan and if proper principles are not lay down for the kid, him can do what ever that feels right for him and definitely there will be mistakes. My grandpa is a smoker, he gave birth to about 6 boys, non of these boys are smokers because he made it clare that non of his kids will be a smoker, not only him but the wife too (being my grandma, she's late tho, God rest her soul) made it clare that her children will not smoke like my grandpa, and that's how it is today.  From the upbringing of my aunts and uncles, that's how I practically see that there's power in good parenting

[Graph001]

If a player who is underage accept the terms and conditions and check the box which specify the date requirements, it is no longer the fault of the platform. Parents and guardians should do more to prevent underage gambling because the bulk of the job is with them.

If the kid do not accept it, it will not allow the kid to gamble. If the kid access the site again and accept that he is above 18, the site will allow him to register and start gambling. This is what smart kids will do. I do not think all gambling sites are doing this. This is the reason I like Stake.com (Stake.us for those that are living in United States) as it makes KYC mandatory.

You are right that most gambling sites currently do not ask for any kind of KYC when signing up. You can sign up there with just an email or phone number. It is not enough to just ask if the person who wants to gamble is an adult, you have to verify that information. And what is even more dangerous is that current online casinos are targeting minors because they are easy to influence. Social media influencers are used to promote them in such a way that it is possible to succeed in life. And the disappointing thing is that minors are also being influenced by it. Some online syndicates are responsible for this. They create an online casino for a temporary period and promote it with young and popular influencers, which deeply affects the audience and they start playing. Later, when the casinos disappear again after the target fills up and come back after a few days with a new online casino, this cycle continues.

 Gambling was never made for minors, now at the end of the day if it is made easily available to minors then they will take a few more steps towards destruction. We all have to be aware to stop such camps of online casinos. Proper parenting is needed to save minors from such camps. Then along with that, the government should also take stricter action against such online scammer casinos so that no one gets hurt by them.
